Executive Chef Julian Vance

The Maestro

Chef Julian Vance

With three Michelin stars accumulated over a two-decade career in Paris, Tokyo, and New York, Executive Chef Julian Vance brings a relentless pursuit of perfection to Golden Fork.


"Food is not merely sustenance; it is architecture, chemistry, and emotion," says Vance. His approach marries classic French techniques with avant-garde modernism, resulting in dishes that are mathematically precise yet profoundly soulful.


Every morning, Chef Vance communicates directly with line-caught fishermen in Hokkaido, truffle foragers in Piedmont, and boutique farmers in the Hudson Valley to curate the evening's menu.

The Atmosphere

Designed for Immersion

Designed by award-winning architect Elena Rostova, the dining room at Golden Fork is a masterclass in understated luxury. Dark oak paneling, brushed brass accents, and velvet banquettes create an acoustic and visual sanctuary.


The lighting is carefully calibrated to illuminate the table—the true stage of the evening—while keeping the periphery wrapped in intimate shadow. The centerpiece of the room is our two-story glass wine vault, housing over 4,000 rare vintages curated by Head Sommelier Marcus Thorne.
